It wasn't free, you were paying for it through your HOA fees, just like you're now paying for internet.
What do you want to bet his HOA payment didn't go down when the 'free' internet was dropped?
Of course it wasn't truly "free", but as explained, cable was once included as part of our HOA fees. Regardless, that really wasn't the point of my post - which was that if Comcast stopped carrying our RSNs, we'd no longer subscribe.
Your comment makes no sense. Comcast cable was once included in our HOA fees. Now high-speed internet is included instead of cable. Nothing was dropped, they simply changed one service (cable) for another (internet). FWIW it's a decision I agree with as 1) More and more folks are getting their movie and TV content from sources other than cable, and with so many working remotely especially during the pandemic, fast and reliable internet is more critical for many than cable. 2) Rather than use a cable or telco company for internet service, they went with Google Fiber which, to date, has been much faster and much more reliable than services like Comcast or AT&T.
My apologies. I did misread your post, sort of, and I blame the late night hour.
My assumption is that the majority of internet customers also subscribe to cable content as well. I am one of the outliers who just subscribes to internet without any content. I apparently overlooked your replacement of "cable service (content)" with just high speed internet.It might be a majority, but it's a bare majority. According to the NCTA, a cable industry lobbying firm, 78 million Americans get internet from a cable provider, 46 million get TV service, and 25 million get landline phone service.
